In contrast to the previous studies of vacuum-tube emitters, we show that in new generation electron emitters, scaled down to the nanometer dimensions, shot noise much smaller than the Schottky noise is observable. Carbon nanotube field emitters are among possible candidates to observe the effect of shot-noise suppression caused by quantum partitioning.5 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 2003Soroll electrònicCamps elèctricsElectronic noiseElectric fieldsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article516896info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
